Wow, this girl is hopeless. They should ask her what she wants to do after giving birth, raise the kid on her own with part-time job or what?

This toon stresses me out like I'm the who's gonna give birth... Girl you can die, you know that?! I really wonder the author's aim to write this story. They shouldn't encourage such a thing. I mean, yeah we read for fun lotsa "shouldn't be encouraged" stories in here but... This one makes me really worry.

Haha, for me I feel like I've been reading as if I'm Noph more than Fah. The whole time I'm like "GIRL STOP ALHDFALKJF"
I think a lot of Fah's motivations is based in shame. I think she genuinely wants to "repent", so to speak, for her crime of having unprotected sex at too young an age. Like, I get the impression she feels like she can prove herself as a young mother by shouldering all of it by herself. Or even, shouldering it all herself is a punishment she's giving herself.
But, I also think there's a certain degree of just running away from her problems too. It's scary to tell her parents. It's scary to tell her boyfriend. So she hides behind that motivation a little as an excuse not to tell them.
Which, all of this is I believe a social commentary about how women's sex lives are treated. Too often, babies are treated as punishments for women who dared to have sex, especially young women. Like even with any abortion debate aside, there are a lot of people who will entirely frame a baby at a young age as "Well now you've ruined your entire life and this is the punishment you have to live with and you better take responsibility for your actions" blah blah blah. No, having a baby when you're not ready isn't ideal. It's not the end of your life though, even if you decide to keep and raise it yourself. You'll struggle, but plenty of young moms can go onto do all the things they wanted to do. Maybe not at the same times as they imagined, but nothing is really impossible. And that's what I personally think TheTerm is going for in this series. A "redemption" kinda thing for a young woman who made a mistake (or 2), but those mistakes don't have to entirely define her future. They just become a part of her future.
I'm really looking forward to the chapters once the cat's out of the bag. I've glanced over a couple raws so I have a bit of an idea, but you know, I want the deets! lol.

Honestly I think the nurse has a responsibility to push harder for her to seek more support. There is a very real danger to her and her baby's lives when it comes to postpartum depression.
Thank you translators! I love this webcomic and your the only one who is translating it in English 😩 I tried my self just google translating it all and I got the general idea but I’m so happy you picked it up. I don’t usually make accounts for this type of stuff but for you I’ll gladly to show my appreciation ❤️

If I were her parents, I'd be more mad about the fact that she hid her pregnancy from me than the fact she got pregnant. Fah has this all backwards.

@Djrex
thanks man, lol I was in the same boat really until Angezilla came along and offered to translate. I was like, why out of the many languages this is offered in is the only one I kinda know (Japanese) inaccessible? Guess I'll just plug and chug from Indonesian because at least that language doesn't require me to download a different keyboard/some kind of app to recognize the script to copy paste lol.
I am very grateful to Angezilla and Tamaoo for basically doing this whole thing. My name is slapped on the project but all the real work is done by them lol. They're great people!
@skilodracus
lol same. I'm sitting here like, my mom would MURDER my ass if I pulled this kinda shit.
